Woolly Mammoth Pendant Made from Woolly Mammoth Ivory and Hair


Using  techniques  from the 1700  and  1800's this  jewelry  is  fashioned  from  a  lock  of your  loved one's hair into the design of the client's choice.   The "hair art" is  done on a  piece of mother-of-pearl  and  then  placed into  a solid sterling silver pendant  with a glass domed covering.  The pendants have the versatility of being worn as either a  necklace or a brooch.    They feature both a pin with a safety clasp and a loop for a chain on the back.  These solid sterling pendants can also be ordered with a 24k gold vermeil finish. 

"Hair  Jewelry" was  made as  mourning  jewelry,  remembrance jewelry  and as a gift of  love during Victorian times when there were no pictures to  look  upon and  remember a loved one  with.   Hair jewelry makes a unique and  beautiful gift  to a loved one for a  special occasion even today.  Hair jewelry is made and given with love. 

This jewelry is made using the "cutwork" or "palette work" technique, and results in a pendant of "wearable art".  Very little hair is needed,  a small lock  is sufficient  to make any of the styles shown, and custom designs can be done to your specifications upon request.

 ** Not all hair is compatible for every design, please e-mail with any questions.


In the October 2006 issue of WWD Accessories Edition, an article announced a collaboration of myself and Alexis Bittar.  He is exclusively selling select pieces in his New York Boutique.  Alexis  has an interest in vintage jewelry and that comes through in his designs and collections.

During Victorian times flowers had symbolic meanings.     For instance a pansy symbolized thoughtfulness, a rose meant love or hope.
